INTRODUCTION
Personalised learning can be defined as an approach in education through which
customised learning is provided to students. Customised learning is concerned with integrating
learning with requirement of students and requirement of students is analysed on the basis of
their existing strengths skills and interest along with their needs. This assessment aims at
discussing reflective profile and will be followed by a personal Learning and Development Plan
will be created including individual goals and objectives.
PART A
Reflective Profile
Personalized learning experience has been very beneficial for me from starting of the
experience. This experience has helped me in identifying different aspects of my personality and
also helps me in identifying different strengths and weaknesses that I have. From the beginning
of personalized learning identified and analysed individual requirements regarding my learning.
During my personalised learning experience I had several kinds of feelings regarding my
existing skills and knowledge (Cheng and Chan, 2019). During the experience I realised that I
have several skills and some of the existing skills require to be worked on in order to enhance.
Being perfect in skills enables one to take highest advantage of their skills. Having skills was a
very positive feeling for me and also sometimes when I realised that I lack some of the skills and
this element also caused some negative feelings. However this learning experience helped in
working on and developing skills so that I can take best advantage of my skills both that I
already have and also those that I learned from the experience. In addition to this learning also
helped me in developing several other professional skills. Concerned with learning skills I
learned several skills however important focus that I had during learning experience was on
developing IT skills and digital skills for arts. The reason behind having strong focus on these
skills is because technology has become part of every profession and strong technology skills can
help in getting opportunity and success in different professions (Ullmann, 2017). These are some
of the skills that earlier I was having very limited theoretical knowledge and this is why learning
these skills can be considered as learning from starting and this is why some difficulties and

challenges were associated while learning. In this situation I realised that developing effective
theoretical knowledge for the skills that individuals are learning can reduce difficulty and also
enable them to learn every faster. This helped me in understanding that whatever skill that I aim
to develop in future I will firstly work on getting theoretical knowledge related to that skill. In
addition to this skill that I already had and wanted to develop them further, working on those
skills was easier and this mainly includes time management because I already had effective time
management skills it was easy to work on it and to develop this skill further. On the basis of
overall experience of learning new skills and enhancing existing skills it can be concluded that
learning experience was highly effective for me and also helped me in utilising different
opportunities that I am likely to have in future (Edwards, 2017). On the basis of this learning
experience I have become able to plan my personal learning and development plan that include
strength and weaknesses along with perceived opportunities and threats. This plan for learning
and development also includes goals and objectives that I have.
PART B
Personal Learning and Development plan
Stage 1 – Analysis
Strengths
Communication skills- This is one of the most important skills that enables individuals to
effectively communicate in oral or written form. In addition to this, it also helps in effectively
expressing opinion and perception to influence others.
Research skills- Research skills is an ability that enables individuals to make reliable research
from different verified sources and this is important skill in academics. This skill also helps
individuals in effectively locating, organising, and evaluating information to make it according to
research subject.
Note taking skills- This is one of the very important skills in academic and this enables
individuals to make effective notes on what they listen and study (Issayev, Masalimova and
Magzumova, 2018).

Time management skills- This is also an individual strength in which individual becomes able
to manage their time on the basis of requirements of tasks and activities. In addition to this it also
enables to realising goals and objectives on time.
Weaknesses
Speed reading- This is one of the weakness and this is a very important skill for academic skills
and enables individual to read in speed.
Networking skills- This is also one of the important skill in both academic as well as profession
success of individual and this is why not having networking skills becomes individual
weaknesses.
Academic writing- This is also one of the skill that I lack because academic success is highly
dependent on ability of individual to effectively write. This requires having academic skills and
lack of this skill becomes a weakness of individual.
Opportunities
Management profession- On the basis of skills that I have and also interests that I have one of
the perceived opportunities is management profession. Management profession is concerned
with working at managerial level in an organisation.
Graduation- Graduation is also one of the important opportunity in which completion of
education leads to several professional opportunities and serves as a basis for success in career of
an individual (Sørensen and et.al., 2018).
Threats
Competition- In present environment competition is in every area including academic as well as
in professional success and competition can affect success and capabilities of individual and this
is a big threat for individual.
Stage 2 – Setting Goals
Developing networking skills in 6 months

Networking skill is a very important skill and in present times can help in getting several
opportunities. This is one of the priority goals to develop networking skill and this will be
measured by analysing connection established and relation with established connections. This is
also one of the weaknesses and developing networking skill is only possible and effective way to
reduce impact of this weakness on professional success.
Developing effective academic writing in 8 months
Developing effective academic writing skills is another important goal (Epton, Currie and
Armitage, 2017). This skill is highly important for academic success and effective writing skill
also help in enhancing written communication skill. In order to develop this skill assistance of
programs and courses can be taken that are designed to help in improving writing skills. In order
to measure this skill feedback from seniors and teachers can be taken.
Developing team working skills in 12 months
This skill helps individual to effectively work within teams and express their thoughts
and opinions while working in a team. This skill is very important for professional success. In
order to develop this skill guidance and assistance from seniors and experts can be taken and in
addition to this there are programs that can be used to develop this skill. In order to measure
success individual performance can measured and monitored while working within a team.
Stage 3 – Personal Objectives
Getting masters degree in management
This is one of the important objective that I have after completion of university education
I want to have masters degree in management. This is concerned with being able to join
profession in management that is an ultimate objective for career that I have. In order to achieve
this objective individuals require having good academic success in university in order to get
admission in a recognised university for masters’ education (Schokman and et.al., 2018). Having
masters’ degree enhanced credibility of individual for professional achievements and
opportunities.
Getting internship at a well known organisation

Internship is an very effective way through which one can prepare for potential
professional challenges that they are likely to face in future. in addition to this getting internship
at well known organisation not only help in gaining knowledge and information and experience
for a profession but also enables individuals to have opportunities in desired and expected
profession. This is why getting internship at well known organisation is another important
objective I have after university studies.
Getting management job in a multinational organisation
This is another and most important objective that I have after completing university
studies and have completed masters and also internship. Followed by these I desire to get an job
in management position in a multinational organisation. This is because such organisation
provides opportunities to learn and develop in several aspects and in addition to this
multinational organisations also offer career development opportunities (Plaza, 2020). However
an organisation that offers opportunity for career development will also be one of the choice
because career development and effective working opportunities are very important to consider.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of above discussion it can be concluded that learning experience was highly
beneficial for individual to develop their skills and knowledge and important for becoming
successful in both academic and profession. Followed by this and on the basis of learning
experience and outside activities a learning and development plan was developed. This plan
involved analysis of different strengths and weaknesses and later it was followed by developing
goals and objectives.
